Edmund the emu

He is such a handsome chap.

And yes we do have emus in Cornwall...... not many..... but we do have them.

Not running wild I hope! ;-)

I hope you don't have your arm...

...no, not going there ;-)

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@madonskis No not running wild. They have a pair at The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@sgtpepper No Alf. I have no intention of getting that intimate with them. They can be a bit frisky I believe. :)

[Sadlerstar]

They give a nasty peck too! Best watched from afar! Brilliant capture of this one! :)

[Sgt. Pepper]

@swillinbillyflynn A bit like an ostrich then ;-)

[Clare Gadsby]

I love Edmund! He has a cheeky air about him. Fav

[Shepherdman]

Pensive expression! N

[Shepherdman]

Well captured, as I was about to say before accidentally hitting Return. Fav

[Yao RL]

Very cool, love the close shot and composition. FAV for sure.

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@sadlerstar I did use my 300mm lens on this one. :)

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@sgtpepper Very similar. although I don't think Michael Parkinson was ever savaged by an ostrich. :)

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@pistache He is actually quite friendly an sociable. He always comes up to see us when we visit. His partner Queenie is a little more coy.

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@shepherdman Thank you most kindly. It took ages to get a clear shot of him through two mesh fences. :)

@yaorenliu Thank you most kindly. It took ages to get a clear shot of him through two mesh fences. :)

[Judith White]

Fabulous detail! Good job about the fences - they can be vicious little beggars...

[Kane Arlow]

Superb shot. I have only seen a couple of these in the wild here. But we did see one in a zoo a few days ago as well.

[Annie D]

[Bernard d'Brienu]
